Indika Bamunusinghe, who is on death row, has obtained the Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Science from the Sri Jayewardenepura University and is now preparing to sit for his Masters at the Kelaniya University, Welikada Prisons Superintendent Chandana Ekanayake said.

He said the request made by the inmate to register in the faculty of Social Science at the Kelaniya University to sit for his masters was endorsed by Prisons Commissioner General Nishantha Dhanasinghe

“The regulations do not permit the inmate to participate in the lectures conducted at the university but he will be provided with the lecture notes and the opportunity to listen to lecture recordings in the prison,” Mr. Ekanayake said. (Sheain Fernandopulle)

Anton do not insult education, it is the right of this country's citizen, He can appeal against sentences against him, Prison is not only the place for executing punishment but also temple for rehabilitation and reformation of mind of inmates. Please make your mind soft.
